Upgrade W212 grille or not??

[peterpython]

I have an E class S212 estate in iridium silver and would like to ask has anyone upgraded the front grill with the merc 3 pointed emblem on the bonnet to the facelift grill with the large 3 pointed star built in to the grill itself and the chrome emblem replaced by a round flat merc disc.
Dont know whether to upgrade or not. Cost is about £150

It really is a personal choice. I prefer the facelift grill but many don't.
You'll get differing opinions here.
I don't think it looks out of place with the pre facelift lights.

Thanks AM for your input. Sometimes I think it would be a shame to get rid of the 3 pointed star on the bonnet

I changed to the BIG star on the grill of my W212 a couple of years ago ... looked great and does away with the bonnet star. A bit fiddly... so had to use ARALDITE epoxy resin for a firm hold

I got the new grill from Chrometech and a bonnet badge off ebay. I think the Sprinter van badge is similar
